A Delay Tolerant Networking and System Architecture for Developing Regions

We present a peer logging system for reducing performance overhead in fault-tolerant distributed shared memory systems. Our system provides fault-tolerant shared memory using individual checkpointing and rollback. Peer logging logs DSM modification messages to remote nodes instead of to local disks. We present results for implementations of our fault-tolerant technique using simulations of both...

AI-based search techniques have been adapted as viable, topology-independent fault-tolerant routing strategies on multiprocessor networks [P.K.K. Loh, Artificial intelligence search techniques as fault-tolerant routing strategies, Parallel Computing 22 (8) (1996) 1127–1147]. These fault-tolerant routing strategies are viable with the exception that the routes obtained were non-minimal. This mea...

This paper describes security failure-tolerant requirements, which tolerate the failures of security services that protect applications from security attacks. A security service, such as authentication, confidentiality or integrity security service, can be always broken down as advanced attack skills are coined. There is no security service that is forever secure. This paper describes an approa...

Propolis is known as honeybee chemical defence against infections and parasites. Its chemical composition is variable and depends on the specificity of the local flora. However, there are no data concerning the relationship between propolis chemical composition and honeybee colony health. We tried to answer this question, studying the chemical composition of propolis of bee colonies from an api...

In this paper, we present an approach for fault-tolerant synthesis by combining predefined patterns for fault-tolerance with algorithmic game solving. A non-fault-tolerant system, together with the relevant fault hypothesis and fault-tolerant mechanism templates in a pool are translated into a distributed game, and we perform an incomplete search of strategies to cope with undecidability. The r...

In this paper we introduce a new interconnection network Fault Tolerant Hierarchical Interconnection network for parallel Computers denoted by FTH(k, 1).This network has fault tolerant hierarchical structure which overcomes the fault tolerant properties of Extended hypercube(EH).This network has low diameter, constant degree connectivity and low message traffic density in comparisons with other...

Tolerance of alfalfa (Medicago sativa L.) to animal grazing varies widely within the species. However, the molecular mechanisms influencing the grazing tolerant phenotype remain uncharacterized. The objective of this study was to identify genes and pathways that control grazing response in alfalfa. We analyzed whole-plant de novo transcriptomes from grazing tolerant and intolerant populations o...

In earlier work we have introduced an efficient hardware fault-tolerant approach for reliable execution of tasks. The proposed approach called the Hardware Fault-Tolerant (HFT) approach. Also, we have introduced the concept of dynamic group maximum matching, which is used to group nodes of a graph into disjoint groups with different sizes dynamically. Furthermore, we have proposed the Dynamic G...

There is a need for better integration of the fault tolerant and the control designs for safety critical systems such as aircraft. The dependability of current designs is assessed primarily with measures of the interconnection of fault tolerant components: the reliability function and the mean time to failure. These measures do not directly take into account the interaction of the fault toleran...
